True.   ‘Stringify()’  or ‘’evaluateAsString()’

It’s easy enough to write a function to force string comparisons for those rare 
edge cases like  "6. " is equal to "6.” where the engine automatically converts 
the strings to numbers.

function compareAsStrings string1, string2
        return string1 & "a" = string2 & "a"
end compareAsStrings

compareAsStrings("6. ","6.") returns FALSE.
